KGL Foundation Hosts EasterFest Food Bank in New Takoradi

More than a thousand people gathered at Esoro Park in New Takoradi on Easter Monday to take part in EasterFest 2025, a food bank experience organised by the KGL Foundation.

The event brought together individuals and families from all walks of life for a day of hot meals, community bonding, and shared celebration.

The Foundation’s presence in New Takoradi followed a similar initiative held in Kumasi during Eid, where hundreds of Muslim community members were served warm meals in the spirit of giving. Recognising the importance of these festive seasons, the Foundation saw Easter as another moment to stand with the people — this time, in the Western Region.

EasterFest was attended by some traditional rulers, the Assembly Member for the area, and key members of the New Takoradi community. Their presence underscored the collective belief that compassion, especially in moments of celebration, is a shared responsibility.

Speaking on behalf of the CEO of the KGL Foundation, the Programmes Manager, Mr Nii Annorbah-Sarpei, highlighted the Foundation’s core motivation:

“We believe in uplifting Ghanaians wherever they may find themselves. These moments — whether during Eid in Kumasi or Easter in New Takoradi — allow us to connect with real people, listen to their stories, and stand with them in love and solidarity.”

From the early morning hours, community members began gathering at Esoro Park, creating a festive buzz even before the first meals were served. Laughter filled the space as children played freely and elders shared conversations over plates of traditional food.
